Holefix caps have been designed with ridges on the stem of the cap. These ridges bite into timber-based materials to get their excellent grip. Holefix Caps look better and make cleaning the inside of cupboards much easier. When correctly fitted, Holefix Caps will not snag on cleaning cloths, or fall out accidentally. 5mm Holefix Caps are the easiest and cheapest way to hide unsightly shelf-adjustment holes in kitchens, wardrobes, office & flat-pack furniture. The superior design however means those same ridges will flatten and deform in metal or plastic holes, delivering the maximum amount of contact between the cap and the hole, and ensuring the caps still achieve optimum grip.
These white 5mm Holefix Caps from Falcon-Workshop are designed for anyone looking to neatly cover unused pre-drilled holes in timber-based furniture, cabinetry, and shelving. They offer a simple, cost-effective solution to improve aesthetics and make cleaning easier by preventing snagging. While excellent for their intended use in wood, their grip may be reduced in non-timber materials.

Will these caps fall out easily?
No, the caps feature a ridged stem designed to bite into timber materials, ensuring a secure fit that prevents accidental dislodging.
How do these caps help with cleaning?
By covering the holes, they create a smooth surface that prevents cleaning cloths from snagging, making interior surfaces much easier to wipe down.

Troubleshooting
Cap does not stay in place
Ensure the hole is 5mm (3/16 inch) and clean. If using in metal or plastic, ensure the hole is smooth and try pressing the cap in more firmly. For timber, ensure the ridges are making good contact.
Cap is difficult to insert
Check for obstructions in the hole. If using in very dense wood, a light tap with a rubber mallet might assist, but do not force excessively.
Cap is loose after insertion
The hole may be slightly larger than 5mm. Try a different hole or consider using a small amount of wood glue for a permanent fix (note: this will make removal difficult).
